Do you believe that, if you started over from scratch, following only people who made interesting posts in the trending timeline, that your experience would be more-or-less the same as currently? That, to me, is a more reliable test of the universality of your experience.
Not to dismiss your personal experience. I just think it would take some careful research and data collection to extrapolate it to everyone.

@8r3n7@mstdn.ca first of all, I'm not interested in extrapolating to everyone — I'm very specifically talking about my personal experience and how to manage it.
Secondly: "if you started over from scratch, following only people who made interesting posts in the trending timeline" This is exactly what I did and what I've always done on social media. It's not like I *wasn't* curating heavily. The problem isn't people I follow — it's who follows me (or doesn't even follow but interacts anyway).
